Geno Smith Was Texting and on Twitter While Meeting with NFL Teams Prior to the NFL Draft

Two sources indicated that when Smith went on some visits to teams, rather than interact with coaches and front-office people, he would spend much of his time on his cell phone. Instead of being engaged with team officials, he would be texting friends or reading Twitter or a number of other distracting activities.

“All these other players who were in there were talking to the coaches, trying to get to know people and he was over there by himself,” one of the sources said. “That’s not what you want out of your quarterback.”

Wow. Props to Dorsey. Amazing what happens when you find out whtat's happening behind the scene.

There has got to be a serious problem for someone with his talent to fall to the second round. With so many QB needy teams. Throw in, that it looks(troubling) like ANdy Reid likes be the Bob Vila for run down players....

Dude, I was for drafting Geno because I want a QOTF for a damn change. He was the best available in a bad class. But, that he fell so far....... these teams had a chance to talk to him, check his background etc and they said no thanks in the first round should give even the staunchest Geno backer some pause.

The fact that Andy Reid, a guy who's well known for his prowess with QB's decided to take Alex Smith rather than draft any QB's in this draft should have been a clue that this was a putrid QB class indeed. Neither Manuel nor Geno are 1st rounders in any quality QB class, were Geno coming out in next year's draft, he could have very well ended up in the 3rd round or even further down the boards.

Just a lot of mediocre quarterbacks that have issues with either mental aptitude, arm strength, accuracy, or a combination of all of the above. I can see Barkley becoming a decent starter, and Nassib I felt has the best overall potential of any of them. I love the Bray pickup, if he can sit and watch, develop, he could turn into a decent QB down the road. I think Manuel and Geno are both going to end up as epic busts for their respective teams.

The problem is why these guys were passed on. Wilson was passed on because they felt he was too short to be successful as a QB in the NFL. Mel Kiper had stated that were Wilson 6'2", he would have been a Top 10 pick, tremendous intagibles and leadership ability.

Kaepernick, he went in the second because it was doubtful whether or not he could take snaps behind center in a pro style offense, nobody ever doubted his leadership ability or intagibles.

With Geno, he's a guy with 1st round talent who has his leadership ability and intangibles openly questioned.
